Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

🚨 A MASSIVE internet security emergency is unfolding right now. 🚨 Two CRITICAL vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, potentially putting millions of websites at risk. → NEARLY 70% of websites with a known server-side language run PHP. The potential scale is ENORMOUS. → TWO CRITICAL security flaws have been confirmed, each scoring 9.2/10 in severity. → Attackers could potentially take control of vulnerable servers remotely, without authentication. → Reports suggest PHP versions dating back to 2004 could be affected. The exact scope is still unconfirmed. → EMERGENCY PATCHES are scheduled for TOMORROW at 10 AM ET. Website owners are being urged to prepare immediately. → Europe's CERT-EU is warning organizations to patch ASAP or consider TAKING EXPOSED APPLICATIONS OFFLINE if they cannot be secured. → WordPress, Magento, Laravel and potentially millions of other PHP-powered websites could be at risk. → Once patches go public, hackers could reverse-engineer them and race to attack servers that haven't updated. The vulnerabilities are CONFIRMED. The full technical details remain secret. Tomorrow, the race between hackers and defenders begins. This could get ugly. FAST.
The PHP security team is giving advance notice: Upcoming security release Wed, Oct 21st 2026, 14:00UTC, two critical vulnerabilities, both rated CVSSv4 9.2. PHP users are encouraged to prepare to update. Earlier release if details become public or active exploit evidence.

Claude Opus 4.7 just got dethroned by a Chinese AI model. And nobody's talking about it. Kimi K2.6: → #1 coding model on OpenRouter → 7x cheaper than Claude Opus 4.7 → 100 sub-agents in parallel → 1,500 total steps per task Here's what happens when you build instead of hype

Hey @awscloud, a new API should NOT be a health event. Stop waking people up with spam.

Replying to @claudeai
That's cool and all but your entire status page is orange right now. Shipping new products while claude.ai, Claude Code, Cowork, and the API are all showing Degraded Performance simultaneously is certainly a choice. 🙄

Everyday Astronaut (arriba) VS Director oficial de la NASA (abajo). Que un youtuber sea capaz de darnos mejores imágenes que la agencia espacial más importante del mundo no tiene ningún sentido. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

NASA should be extremely embarrassed at how much better Everyday Astronaut's coverage of the launch was compared to theirs.
A lot of people seem to think I'm referring to the onboards. While better onboards would be amazing the real problem was the frequent crowd shots. This is not the view i want during SRB seperation.

This is a truly incredible shot, especially given that the NASA live feed chose to show video of the cheering crowd right at the exact moment of solid rocket booster separation…

Hermes is so so so much better than openclaw. The persistent memory lets me do things openclaw couldn’t do. Thanks @NousResearch!!
